Up until recently when using "Favourites" on my I.E. browser, the drop down menu just showed the Explorer "E" icon and the site name, but just recently on some sites, proper logo icons are in their place eg BBC, Google. Just wondering why this is happening.
Some sites have a favicon.ico in the root of their site (see mine). When you add this to your favourites it also adds the icon to your favourites. If the site doesn't have this then the default IE icon is used.
The BBC and Google have always had one so if this is happening to their sites then it could be a cache problem (it can't find the favicon.ico in your cache and so it gives up). It's nothing to worry about.
